Intermediate training is geared toward assisting the participant in making the transition from Beginner level status (Assessed by GBT Evaluation Standards) in basic pistol and carbine skillsets to the next level. The Intermediate shooter is expected to possess all the basics regarding gun safety, weapons care and handling and knows how to safely carry and manipulate a weapon; can land single shots and controlled pairs on target safely and with confidence from the ready position. The focus at GreyBeard Tactical is real-world gun-fighting, threat assessment and situation based skills development.

Nearly 99% of commercially available training is “drills” oriented. The WHAT is the focus on this type of training. At GreyBeard Tactical, we teach students the HOW of scientifically based training in order to develop perfect technique, accelerated learning curves with real-world applicational skillsets.

Based on a study by a leading research institute, new Law Enforcement officers were unable to effectively perform simple skills, such as baton strikes in a STERILE environment just WEEKS after leaving the Police Academy. This is not only shocking but demonstrates the incredible weakness of WHAT-type drill oriented training programs.

Intermediate and Advanced level students sign on for courses that are not “1-day” or hourly based. Our Int/Adv courses are progressive in nature and standards oriented. When a student is successfully able to meet the standards for that level, they receive certification of completion. For Intermediate level students this usually ranges between 3-6 months utilizing a combination of private “live” on-site training at an undisclosed location combined with off-site student paced work.

Pricing is a monthly cost during the course of instruction until student meets the standards or elects to terminate their training.

GreyBeard Tactical utilizes a combination of:

• specialized training aids
• science based methodologies
• cutting edge assessment and analysis techniques
• long-lasting skills building

for real-world, dynamic, high-stress applications.

Everyone has heard the term “Practice makes perfect” but the reality is that ONLY PERFECT practice makes perfect. As an instructor, I visit the public range 1-2x weekly for brief runs of 10-15min. In 6 months of regular visits with most of the bays occupied, I have yet to see a proficient shooter at the public range.

Repetitive imperfect movement only drives deeper the neurological pathways that the brain calls upon under stress to perform. Even WORSE, repeated DIFFERENT movement creates brain fog and confusion so that when the time comes to perform, the brain isn’t sure which pathway to default to. This translates into slower reaction, freeze, error or any combination thereof.

Is this what you want when your life or someone else’s depends upon your skills?
